CB v 2010 nakupovali zlato

Po 21 rokoch boli v roku 2010 centrálne banky prvý krát oficiálnymi nákupcami zlata. Takýto scenár pravdepodobne zostane aj v blízkej budúcnosti, čo pravdepodobne bude mať vplyv na cenu žltého kovu. Nákupcami boli a asi aj naďalej budú CB rozvíjajúcich sa ekonomík. Európske CB v 2010 značne obmedzili predaj zlata.

Emerging market economies with rapid economic expansion have been substantial gold buyers. The speedy increase in these countries' holdings of foreign exchange, notably the dollar, has eroded the proportion of reserves constituted by gold, and some of these nations are looking to restore the earlier balance.

European central banks, despite holding substantial quantities of gold in their foreign exchange reserves, have had their appetite for sales vastly reduced by the financial crisis and disposals have effectively dried up over the past three years.

Both these trends are expected to continue and as a result the official sector is not only unlikely to re-emerge as a "significant source of supply", but implicitly is expected to remain on the net demand side of the equation for the foreseeable future.
